Description

Exploring the relationships between organisms and the Earth’s environment, the exciting field of ecology incorporates many branches of science. This course is designed to provide a well-rounded introduction to the field – explaining a range of complex concepts involving environmental knowledge, biological processes, evolution and ecological relationships.

From Greek philosophers and early science to advanced concepts including evolution and adaptation, the Ecology Diploma Course takes you through the history of the subject.

We'll explore the diversity of Earth's environments and the types of organisms that establish themselves in each, along with the environmental controls that regulate climate.

The course goes on to discuss the individual relationships and interactions that occur between organisms within populations and communities. We'll look at the evolutionary adaptations animals and plants have developed to survive, population mechanisms, and community development and structure, including predator-prey dynamics. You'll also be guided through the Earth's biogeochemical cycles and trophic level interactions.

The Ecology Diploma Course concludes with an explanation of climate change and its impact, the anthropogenic factors influencing climate change, and a look at the national parks and marine conservation initiatives.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
